2024 Rulebooks slated for SRD 5.2 and Creative Commons

[Theodoxus]

Works for me. Folks complaining that they don't get free stuff until five months later strikes me as a little odd.

I don't know if that was directed at me or not - but my complaint isn't free stuff or not, it's the ridiculous notion that either the 2014 et al monsters are good enough to use 2024 classes with - so why should I buy the 2025 MM when it comes out - OR they're not good enough, so I have to wait 5 months before I play 'the game as it's meant to be' which more than likely, means not buying the books until all three are available. And if enough of us do that, WotC will be under the impression (and if not WotC, certainly all the fiscal hawks that come out of woodwork) that slumping books sales obviously means the product is poop. Will 5 months be short enough for them to ride the inevitable boom of sales? Maybe. If they don't (somehow) manage to listen to the nayhawks.

Either way, for me, the 2024 50 year celebration won't start until 2025. YMMV.
